Ubuntu 20.04: Enable SSH on Ubuntu 20.04.

I had to enable ssh on a newly installed Ubuntu 20.04 VM that I installed today so I thought that it would be useful to add to the blog. I got the information from (https://linuxconfig.org/enable-ssh-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux).

Installing ssh server on Ubuntu 20.04:

ssh was installed using apt:

sudo apt install ssh

Type your password and press enter:

SSH will then be installed.

Enable ssh daemon on Ubuntu 20.04:

The SSH server daemon was enabled and started:

sudo systemctl enable --now ssh

I was then able to ssh to the VM from another machine and log in using my user.
